Playing with the "Party" setting on the camera, this picture was taken without flash. For the most part, the low-light pictures weren't so good; perhaps I need a different setting to get better focus. Still, it was a great deal of fun taking picture after picture that wasn't apparent. Here, Marian is talking to her friend Charlotte (the hand on the lower right) at the MN-STF meeting yesterday.

MN-StF President lydy ran for the Board on a platform of "Beer and Tigers". When the meetings are at her house, both abound.

Off to the May Day Parade!

I took over 500 pictures with my new camera, and nearly a hundred of them plotzed. For some reason, the image didn't save to the chip. The thumbnail did, so I can tell which pictures were gone. There seems to be no pattern to the phenomena. I dunno.

And I'm not terribly happy with the pictures I did get, for the most part. Maybe they'll look better in full PhotoShop mode with cropping and such. Still, if I get a few dozen really good shots then it will have been a good day. This is one of them, more for the humor value than the technical wizardry.
